Hi All,

how to get the Gmail application asking for a password rather than going straight to my inbox / conversations... ?

Thanks in advance,

Wolf
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wayneb02:
Sign out? Or get an app that can password protect other apps
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wolfglance:
I can't find any " Sign out " while i am in the Gmail app !

That will be a nice option though ...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] empiricDev:
I don't think it's possible to sign out of your Google account on your phone. There are probably some third party applications that can hide or protect Gmail.

Alternatively, you could create a second Gmail account and unsync your primary... just a thought I haven't needed to hide an account so I'm not sure what Gmail will do I. That scenario.

Good luck
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wayneb02:
Wow I could have sworn I had seen one, but I guess not cause I can't find it lol. Just get an app that password protects other apps
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wolfglance:
Since YOU didn't find it as well, lol

I will get an app that password protects other apps
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wayneb02:
Sorry about that
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wolfglance:
Hi All,

what app do you recommend to password protect other apps ?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wayneb02:
I used to use the one in zd box. And btw, if you force close the app that is password protecting another app it will stop protecting it. So don't find this out the hard way if you're hiding stuff from your wife or gf or whatever lol
[HTC Sensation] webmaster:
I havent used a Sense based ROM for months, and when I flashed one over the weekend I noticed the option to enable DLNA Auto-IP. I fully understand what DLNA is, but I am having trouble figuring out what this setting is for. Can anyone explain specifically what it does and when you would need to enable it? I checked around online and there seems to be some confusion, so I am hoping someone here knows!
[HTC Sensation] sromer:
i assume it automatically gives your phone an IP address when it connects to a network or device that supports DLNA.
[HTC Sensation] webmaster:
I dont think so, that is the purpose of DHCP. Unless of course this setting is used to enable to phone itself to act as a DHCP server....:confused:
[HTC Sensation] The Radius Kid:
Maybe this will help:

http://osdir.com/ml/AndroidDevelopers/2009-05/msg02775.html
[HTC Sensation] webmaster:
Thanks, I actually found that link yesterday as well. However its a bit unclear as to what specific function auto-IP has.
[HTC Sensation] The Radius Kid:
Okay,maybe this helps?:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/220874
[HTC Sensation] webmaster:
So are you saying enabling auto-IP gives your phone a 169.x.x.x IP? If so, what is the point of that? Links are great, however if you happen to know then please explain.
[HTC Sensation] The Radius Kid:
Best I can figure [from the first link]

"Due to the DLNA specification, we have to support auto-IP when

there is no DHCP server.

"dhcpcd" is used by android and it supports auto-IP, but there are 2

designs

inside framework make auto-IP not available.

1. wireless manager timeout is the same as default DHCP discover

timeout.(30s)

2. dhcpcd will set failed property when get auto-IP"

Reading the MicroSoft blurb leads me to believe they need the auto function when there's no DHCP available.

Kinda' sounds like what I read in the posts above.
[HTC Sensation] webmaster:
Ok, perhaps I am not as familiar as I should be with the 169.x.x.x IP range then. If a device isnt assigned a local IP then I dont think it can communicate with other devices on the network. As such, I am still not seeing the point of the auto-IP setting.
[HTC Sensation] MegaManSolid:
I am surprised that I can't find out what "DLNA auto-IP" does through googling. I want to know the details of what it means. I just got an HTC One phone on AT&T and my home wifi was cutting out (even though it said full signal), until I unchecked DLNA auto-IP. All my other devices including my wife's new iphone work perfect at home, but couldn't get my phone to work until I luckily tried checking this option in the advanced wifi settings. Anybody know exactly what is happening?

I have a motorola milestone a853 phone. I installed the cyanogenmod 7 on the phone but i didnt like it. Chose to want to go back and flash back to factory.

Rsd Lite could not recognize my phone. Then my computer doesnt recognize the device. Somebody came and said he could help and he tried to go to recovery mode but it wouldn't let him so he said to delete the open recovery folder and everything would be fine and would go back to the bootloader menu. He was wrong and so was I for believing. Now Rsd lite still doesnt recognize the phone, when i connect the phone with usb to computer it is not recognized and when i go to try the bootloader by pressing and holding x and the power button it just tries to open through open recovery but because its no longer on the sd card it just reboots the phone. Someone help

Original Post:

What the problem is:

Test Protocol By N11:

Navigate to Settings/About Tablet/System Firmware Update

Try to tap "Check Update" while charging and while unplugged

Report any differences. Also report your version information.

Test Protocol 2:

Download "Touch Test" or "Multi-Touch Benchmark"

Report any differences while charging and while unplugged. Also report your version information.

Edit 1: I have discovered that this only occurs when the device is charging... Weird. Can anybody else try this? Download "Touch Test" and play around with in while charging and unplugged.

While Charging/Plugged In:

While Unplugged:

Edit 2: Seems like other users are experiencing the same behavior! Please reply if you are experiencing problems too!

Edit 3: So I purchased a stylus from my local Walmart to get a more accurate, less subjective "touch" The results are shockingly clear.

While Unplugged:

While Charging:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ajkid93:
Same thing is happening with mine, but I cant hit the refresh button on the tabs in the browser (instead it keeps clicking the close button). I even tried my targus stylus and it still doesn't work.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] czm2000:
I had a very similar problem with mine only it went much further than just what you guys are experiencing. In addition to what you stated, mine wouldn't even register anything at random intervals and in random spots on the touch screen. Here's a little video of just some of it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oywWUxPMeX8

I feel for you guys. I had to send my back. Currently awaiting a replacement.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kerryking1:
Mines not working at all now
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vbman213:
Mine seems to have improved greatly after unplugging the charger...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kerryking1:
I drained the battery. Didn't help
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vbman213:
I want to know why the accuracy tanks when charging... Seems a little weird if you ask me...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jdbaker82:
has something to do with the voltage of the charger my epic 4g touch did the same thing with the wall adapter it came with started using a different charger from my old phone and problem went away...... I would be curious if all stock wall chargers for the prime do it or just some?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Evo_Shift:
This is interesting. I had a Dell laptop with a defective charger and the touchpad would throw the mouse all over the place while it was charging.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vbman213:
Do you think I just have a defective charger?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the_game_master:
I'm not having that issue here. Its working fine for me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jdbaker82:
I do like I said same thing happened with my epic 4g touch phone.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vbman213:
I was going to try and pick up a replacement OEM TF101/201 charger from my local OfficeDepot (they actually carry these!) and try it, but they don't do opened box refunds...

Guess this is going back to best buy...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Sokonomi:
I think it has something to do with the backplate tingling/improper grounding,

throwing some static at the touchscreen grid making it think its being touched elsewhere.

See howfar off the touch dot is at various places on your screen.

You should be able to figure out a trajectory to where it is making "contact". ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Diamondback:
Exactly, try turning around your charger (so turn it by 180°)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RussianMenace:
I had something similar happen on my DInc when I plugged it into the wall and car inverter using my brothers Motorola cable and charger. The phone will just go wonky with the touchscreen. As soon as I unplug it everything would be copacetic. Try another charger and or cable.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vbman213:
So i wonder if its more likely that my prime isnt the problem and my charger or home wiring is wonky
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] UmbraeSoulsbane:
I noticed this yesterday where I could not close browser tabs. Eventually I got the tab to close, and thought this was just some dust on the screen or something.

I have not had any issues before and use it a lot while charging (its technically my wife's so she gets to run the battery down and I get it after since I sit close to a outlet), and I was not having issues at all until the last firmware update (not that it is necessarily related).

I will try and run some more tests this evening and see if I can produce. I would think if this was a hardware issue I would have run into it sooner.

Did anyone have this issue prior to any of the latest firmware updates?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vbman213:
I'm honestly not sure. Prior to my device arriving yesterday, I found out about the newly released root method for the latest OTA so I upgraded as soon as I turned on the device. I do not have a benchmark for comparison.

I will be trying to invert my charger and I will also be trying a different location across town to see if maybe my electrical wiring in my home is causing voltage noise/grounding issues.

I have a solution:

if (Device.isCharging) { Screen.Touch.setOffset(-5,-10) }

done...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] UmbraeSoulsbane:
Or maybe that's in there and was meant to be commented out... :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] n11:
I have experienced the same screen calibration issue but

only

after the 8.8.3.33 update and

only

when the unit is charging. A good place to verify the different calibration on charging vs. unplugged is to go to Settings/About tablet/System Firmware Update. While the unit is unplugged I can click in the center of the Check Update box and it will respond. When the TF201 is plugged in I can't get a response from the center of the box but I can along the lower edge of the box. I've found this reaction to be repeatable even after multiple system restarts.

Please try this on your prime and let us know what your result is.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jamesey10:
I have this issue too, and I'm glad someone made a post of it because I was confused as heck.

I think this is an issue after the latest update (.33), because I would have noticed this the first few days I had my tablet. I always had it charging while using it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] :
Have the same problem... hope its the firmware bug and not the screen its self.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] UmbraeSoulsbane:
Yeah, I did not notice it until after the update. Guess we need to make sure ASUS knows about this, so we can get another firmware update to fix it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vbman213:
Glad to know I'm not the only one...

Wasn't the Touchscreen Drivers updated with the latest OTA? Common denominator maybe??? I'm going to keep running some experiments. Can anybody who is experiencing this (who also has a spare TF101 charger) test this out?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] n11:
Thanks to the OP for updating the title and OP.

Has anyone else experienced the same issue after the 8.8.3.33 firmware update.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] faxmonkey:
It appears not all units are the same. The calibration on mine is good even when charging.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vbman213:
Interesting observation, thanks for you input!

My gut is telling me that I will be forced to return the device to Best Buy and just wait until ASUS is able to keep up with stock demands.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JoeyLe:
You got it after the firmware upgrade right? So then there is nothing wrong with your device, but with the software.. why would you return it? Big change your replacement has the same problem.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] n11:
Thanks...your input is good to have. Just to confirm...have you updated to 8.8.3.33 (that's when the issue started for me).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vbman213:
Make sure to report your version information! Thanks =)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ankhazam:
Same issue European TF201 while charging in dock top screen has misaligned touch. without charging it is perfectly aligned.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vbman213:
I have added a poll to track the findings of this thread. Please vote ONLY AFTER you perform the outlined protocols (use a stylus if you have one)

Thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ankhazam:
While charging I noticed that those misaligments are simmetrical. At bottom of screen it goes below touch and near top of screen it goes above it... Same but less noticable at right/left edge. In the center of screen the touch is perfectly calibrated ;)

Above situation occurs: during charging + in dock, did not check without the dock.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vbman213:
Thank you for that description! Yes, I experience the exact same thing! It's almost scary how precisely you described my problem.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] n11:
I really hope that someone from Asus is monitoring this forum. This information should be of real value to them...and yes...I really believe they care...wouldn't you.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ankhazam:
It's simple the ground signal during charging simply interferes with the capacitive touch sensor and makes it somehow more sensitive and therefore the reading drift toward the edges. Asus could apply a dual driver profile: during charge and on battery. I might later try on a shielded power socket :) An alluminium alloy should imho come with 3 plug charger but meh... that's just imho :) Anyway that would introduce some problems for people who have nicely grounded sockets and those who haven't ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vbman213:
Interesting. But it still seems that it was exacerbated by the .33 OTA, would be interesting to hear your findings. Thanks

Anybody else have any experience with this issue?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jdbaker82:
Good news for you guys is that it's your chargers not your Primes if you have another charger try it should be fine.....I guess the hard part will be getting replacement chargers from Asus since it's still hard to get Primes.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vbman213:
Are you basing this on speculation/deductive reasoning or do you have cold, hard evidence to back up that claim? If this is the case, I will go buy a replacement tomorrow.

Well, the chargers are just TF101 chargers. They are the same thing. I can't imagine ASUS running low on chargers and every Office Depot within a 75 mile radius has replacement OEM TF101 chargers in stock right now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jdbaker82:
I am not going to say I'm positive but there's a very good chance. I had same problem with my Epic 4g touch charger and some of the stock chargers did it some didn't (according to other owners) swapped it out and used it in same exact wall outlet problem went away.

also I haven't heard of weird issues like this with phones and tablets until they started designing the separate piece wall charger brick things with the USB ports I think that has something to do with it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] neo1738:
just tested mine again, all 5 fingers worked with zero problems. this was holding the tab in my hand. then layed it down on bed with no other grounding and still works great. must be only some units.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] _Gir_:
.33 here.

Plugged in:

Accuracy varies by-

-It lights up above my finger at when I press near the top of the display

-It lights up accurately when I press around the center

-It lights up below my finger when I press near the bottom of the display

-Pressing near the left or right side of display has negligible effect.

Unplugged:

Mostly pretty accurate overall.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vbman213:
Thank you for the input!

Did you notice these symptoms prior to flashing the OTA?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Itaintrite:
Maybe it's just a coincidence but I do have a defective 3rd party charger for my iPhone. It still charges the phone but whenever I plug it in, the touchscreen goes berserk.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vbman213:
If you searching around on the net, you can find literally hundreds (if not thousands) of posts that describe touchscreen problems on various devices when using 3rd party or even defective OEM chargers.

There is definitely something fishy about Charger Problems <=> Touch Screen Problems.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MaximusDog:
No issue with alignment here and I have the latest 8.33 update. But I did see a problem where I can't select "about tablet" when charger is plugged in. I can select that same region of the screen (eg. I can select the icons on that same area of the screen) but just can't get to "about tablet".
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] corban227:
I have the same issue. While plugged in the calibration is wacked but upon unplugging its perfect. Basic troubleshooting suggests replacing the outlet being used for charging and then the charger. Not trying to sound pompous just stating my thought process

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Blairware:
Solution! (Sort of) At the very least you must try this

Guys: Pay attention. Early in this thread it was pointed out that if you reverse the polarity of the charger, the "buzz" from the slight current that runs across all the metal of the unit disappears. So does the screen accuracy issues. It's NOT Calibration, though it IS possible that 8.8.3.33 may have had an influence, but the BIGGEST issue, and this has been true of all Transformers I have had, including 5 OG Transformers and 2 Primes, is that the charger seems to ground properly ONLY when you reverse the polarity (they did not make one plug blade wider, probably because its international, or perhaps AC is delivered differently in different places.

Everyone I know has solved the issue the exact same way: Put the charge in the wall "upside down" (With the Asus logo upside down) "Buzz disappears, calibration is fine (on my current unit, I was not aware of this calibration issue until now, and I only have the one at the moment)

Put it the other way, with logo facing up: now run your fingers lightly over the metal casing: Feel that?

Asus release 3 different revisions of the cheap ass charger they supply with this decidedly NOT CHEAP tablet, and never fixed the issue, or even improved it from what I have researched.

The correct protocol; for testing needs to include reversing polarity on the charger. After that: How is your calibration now? Mine is perfect, running 8.8.3.33, with charger on upside down, with charger off. Mine is miscalibrated with the charger right side up. It's time for Asus to get better chargers on these.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cphil19:
Exactly the same for me.

Hopefully someone comes up with a fix. Would hate to return it. BTW, turning the charger upsidedown didnt do anything for me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] n11:
Thanks (given) for the information. Reversing the polarity DID eliminate the tingling on the back of the TF201...but...it didn't help the screen calibration/accuracy issue that appeared after I updated to .33. I was able to replicate these results over several polarity switches.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Olkflx:
Does it also happen while charging on the dock? I've only seen a single report regarding this aspect.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ankhazam:
Well I'm always charging in the dock ;) especially that the dock battery get's depleted first...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jerrykur:
Fwiwt, my nook color has a lot of issues when charging. It has to do with screens capacitive field changing. The nook get very twitchy and double character enters. I just quit using it while it was charging. I also do not use my Transformer when it is charging.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
It happens to me but only on when plugged in its weird lol it must switch something in the software when you plug it in
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rjscott2005:
I'm on .33 but didn't test before updating. Currently (no pun intended) I'm not experiencing tingling in my fingers with either polarity. I am getting the inaccurate touch input with both polarity 'settings'. Unplugged is fine. I'll check it again tonight using my Nook Color charger and the Asus cable to see how that works.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vbman213:
Same here. I do not experience any "tingling" in my fingers with either polarity and I also experience inaccurate touch input with either polarity setting.

Weird...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] UmbraeSoulsbane:
I only started having this problem once I upgraded to .33. I have opened a support ticket with ASUS to make sure they are aware of the issue, but have not heard back yet.

Not saying every problem on this thread has the same cause, but there was definitely something funky with the .33 firmware.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vbman213:
I opened a ticket as well. I might give them a call later today when I get off work.

My ticket was posted almost 48 hours ago, which means it will soon be expedited. We shall see what they say.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
Mine works fine.

I did see stuff like this on my OG Droid phone and it came down to the charger and cable I was using creating odd voltage issues.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vbman213:
I will say this, the Prime feels like a quality piece of equipment. However, once you hold the Prime for any length of time then pick up the charger and cable, you can instantly tell that Asus went cheap on those...
